Established in 2013, the Distinguished Athlete Awards annually honors the athletic achievement of more than 20 exceptional Hawaii student athletes at an invitation-only banquet to close out the sports season, set for this year at the Ala Moana Hotel's Hibiscus Ballroom.

All Hawaii Players of the Year in Football, Basketball, Soccer, Volleyball, Baseball and Softball, along with the Newcomer Award winners are honored for their achievements.

The culminating awards of the night are presented to a Distinguished Male and Female Athlete of the Year, selected as top overall in a single sport during the past year.
